Class Approach

We use teaching materials aimed to help each student with their individual learning goals, level, and progress. Students study with a volunteer teacher in a one-on-one or a small group setting.

Helping People from All Over the World

We have taught over 500 people from over 38 countries, including Algeria, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Spain, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, the USA, and Vietnam.

Other Activities

In addition to the Shijonawate Japanese Class, we hold various events during the year such as “Hanami” (Cherry Blossom Viewing), “Bon Odori on Yukata” (Summer Festival) the “International Exchange Waku-Waku Party,” and a speech for foreigners at the Community Center Festival.

These events allow the students to demonstate the Japanese they have learned, as well as giving them the opportunity to socialize with other students, the volunteer teachers, people living in Shijonawate City, and people in the surrounding community.
